Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina
Sober living in North Carolina typically runs around $170 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina is $1,228 a month. For those who cannot pay, County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program are among the state-funded routes used. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, is the state body to start with.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in North Carolina
Recovery housing in North Carolina operates without a state licence. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. North Carolina publishes its certified-residence directory. North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
